Chewy Sour Gummies
What it is
These are soft, chewy candies with a distinct sour coating. They are typically made with sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, and flavorings. The sourness comes from an acidic coating, often citric acid or malic acid, which provides a tangy contrast to the sweet gummy interior. They are a popular treat enjoyed for their texture and flavor.

How to keep the rest

Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. This will help preserve their freshness and prevent them from becoming hard or sticky.
